COMMERCE, Texas --- Tareyn Blanton's goal proved to be all the offense on the day as the Texas A&M-Commerce women's soccer team edged visiting Tusculum College, 1-0 Saturday afternoon. It was the season-opener for both teams.

Blaton's goal came in the 42nd minute, which was assisted by Devon Herrman.

Lions' goalkeeper Randi Hafele posted the shutout as she surrendered three saves. TC keeper Rachael Jennings posted a pair assists as she went the distance.

A&M-Comm&erce out-shot the Pioneers 7-3 in the opening 45 minutes, but TC controlled possession in the second period, out-shooting the Lions by a 6-2 margin to even the match shot tally at 9-9.

Tusculum will close out its Texas road-swing with Monday's match against West Texas A&M.
